Our Story
We believe progress thrives on diversity.
That’s why
we are committed to building a future where innovation and inclusivity drive impactful investments.
Founded as a joint venture among four key partners, Clover has evolved from a co-investment in leasing and sub-leasing fuel storage tanks to owning and operating a fleet of tankers. Our initial strategy to build a robust shipping division has been realized with the successful acquisition and operation of vessels that meet the highest safety standards. Incorporated with a focus on long-term value creation, Clover continues to expand its global footprint in the shipping and commodities trading sectors. ​
Our long-term strategy is to broaden our investment horizons into areas such as real estate, sustainability, and financial markets, always guided by a commitment to creating value while addressing global challenges. As part of our ethos, we aim to engage in dialogue on the future of the maritime industry, driving thought leadership and contributing to innovative solutions for challenges such as environmental impact, health and safety, and equity within the industry.
